Aura Farwell
Hi! My name is Aura Farwell and I have been a Colorado resident for all of my life. I grew up in Buena Vista, CO and am a proud Mountain Mama! I love to explore all things Colorado, but I am happy to travel as far and wide as I can, too. Discovering new cultures, communities and places is a source of fulfillment for me. I'm all about new experiences and adventure makes my heart sing!
I am a very creative person and try to get my hands on anything artistic, from drawing and painting to writing, crafting and photography. I am a photographer by trade and I love to capture the human essence. I love to photograph, draw and paint people and to discover the depths of each individual through their eyes. Since people fascinate me so much, human connection is important to me and I look forward to meeting new people every day.

Aura Farwell is available for private bookings

I am available most Saturdays/Sundays and Mondays from 11am-9pm.
I am available for private tutoring for drawing classes, mostly in portraits and the human form.
I am available for photography of weddings, events, portraits, graduations, etc.

This painting was actually made up of two photos, one taken right outside my house here in Colorado Springs (the sky), and the other was taken in Arizona on a roadtrip. I really enjoy the sage colored shrubs found in the desert and wanted to incorporate them into the photo, and to compliment the sky?s magnificent orange shades.

Title or Location: Go to the mountains
This painting was developed after going over an old pallet, knife, painting that I was not excited about. Often times for me, when recycling art, a painting is created with a new life and one that I really like. I strive to have the viewer feel, smell, and capture the feeling of what comes out of my mind when I am creating a new piece of art. The first painting I ever did I was five or six years old or younger, and most of my art comes out of my imagination. However, if I am doing realistic ar

This painting represents confidence in being a woman. I?ve struggled my whole life with issues around self worth and body image and I love to paint images of women that represent my healing and emotions that I can identify with on my journey to self love. The process of painting allows me to tap in and embody different versions of myself.
